Festive fun on Fraser Island

The sun is out, the sea breeze is refreshing and the island’s lakes are as enticing as ever- it’s that magical time of the year where festive cheer fills the air on Fraser Island.

Whether you’re keen for a game of beach cricket, you’re ready to explore Fraser Island’s incredible natural environment or you’re in the mood to kick back, relax and unwind -there’s plenty of fun to for the whole family on Fraser this festive season. School aged visitors will get the chance to join our rangers for beach activities, fishing frenzies, night walks, campfires and more as part of our Junior Eco Ranger program running right through the school holidays. There’s plenty to keep the ‘big kids’ busy too- get out on the water on our stand up paddle boards or canoes, join in ranger-guided archery sessions, explore the western beach on a guided Segway tour or take to the mock bushland battlefield and put your laser skirmish skills to the ultimate test. If your idea of the perfect island holiday is a bit more laid back, Kingfisher Bay Resort is the ultimate relaxation destination with four swimming pools, three restaurants, four bars and an incredible Island Day Spa.

When the sun dips below the horizon, there’s nowhere better to kick back with a cold drink than our aptly-named Sunset Bar and when it comes to deciding where to dine there’s plenty of festive fare to enjoy. To officially kick off the silly season, Maheno Restaurant will be combining traditional hearty dishes with a sensational seafood buffet, live entertainment and poolside cocktails during weekends in the lead up to Christmas, while our award-winning chefs in Seabelle Restaurant will be using native Australian fruits, spices, berries and herbs to create their bush-tucker menu.
